In or out of the mainstream? Lessons from research on disability and development cooperation
Edited by Bill Albert
The Department for International Development (DFID) funded Disability Knowledge and Research Programme was the most ambitious project ever mounted on disability and development. At its heart was a series of 23 research projects. Some of these were done with non-disabled allies, others by individual disabled researchers and others from a collaborative effort between disabled colleagues in the South and the North. All embrace the social model of disability and most are concerned with understanding the impact of external interventions on lives of poor disabled people in the South. This collection is made up of 13 chapters reworked by the authors from their reports. While there is a strong focus on the mainstreaming of disability, a wide range of topics are considered, including; education, the impact of domestic disability legislation, the Ugandan PRSP process, the role of foreign NGOs in Mozambique, disability statistics, poverty and disability, the social model and development and participatory rural appraisal in Cambodia.
